No coins, no chains, no big machinery but plain, efficient and scalable decentralization, leveraging the largest open internet messaging network ever created by humans ... made safe, fast and resource efficient with #chatmail servers using strong and audited #interoperable #cryptography. It just works (tm) in many places where Signal and WhatsApp fail today. It's time to reclaim "decentralization" from techbros, insist on real-life #resilience and trust this cute figure from @Xeniax :)

Maintaining an old, ecologically balanced agricultural landscape is valuable as well. Humans are creators and part of many ecosystems we want to keep or restore.

Human activity is closely linked to #nature, and current trends raise questions about future pathways: either continuing with practices that degrade #ecosystems or adopting approaches that support their #resilience.

In #Davos, discussions often focus on business and economics, but these are connected to nature, states a Nature Positive Initiative event that took place during the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos.

Devastating Wildfires in LA: 19,300 Emergency Responses Logged

Message from WPS News
By, Cliff Potts, WPS News, Editor-in-Chief
Baybay City | January 13, 2025

In the face of the devastating fires sweeping through Los Angeles, our hearts go out to all those affected by this tragedy. The flames have cast a shadow over countless lives, and we extend our deepest condolences to the families and communities enduring unfathomable loss.

Update

The latest update on the LA fires reveals an alarming situation. Emergency responders have engaged in a remarkable 19,300 emergency responses, highlighting the severity and urgency of the ongoing crisis. With 105 active wildfires consuming nearly 40,300 acres of land, the impact on the region is profound. We are deeply saddened to report at least 13 preliminary fatalities, a number which awaits confirmation from the coroner’s office. Furthermore, the destruction of more than 12,300 structures affects not just homes but the very fabric of community life.

Evacuation orders are enforced due to immediate threats to life, and authorities strongly urge residents to evacuate without delay. While some progress has been made by our resilient firefighting crews, challenges persist, heightened by looming windy and dry conditions that threaten to hinder containment efforts.

We stand in solidarity with the brave firefighting teams and urge everyone in the affected areas to comply with safety directives, ensuring the well-being of all involved. Together, through cooperation and support, we can move through this crisis towards recovery and healing.

“A food apocalypse is coming: There is no plan to feed Britain in a crisis”

by James Redbanks in UnHerd

“A lot of people assume that somewhere in Britain there are sheds full of food that we’d distribute in a disaster. Surely there is a grain or butter mountain somewhere? Surely the UK govt has a plan for such a crisis?

Nope. No sheds. No stores. No mountains of food. No plan.”

We need to *urgently* begin conversations about #adaptation and #resilience - there is *absolutely* no time to waste as we rapidly approach the next heating threshold.

Each 0.1ºC that we heat is going to result in much more climate chaos.
